Intuitive Timeline jQuery Plugin from Different Sources

There are lots of timeline tools on the web but they are almost all either hard on the eyes or hard to use. The goal is to create timelines that are at the same time beautiful and intuitive for users.

Timeline is great for pulling in media from different sources. Just throw in a link from Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, Vimeo, Google Maps or SoundCloud and Timeline will format it to fit perfectly. More media types will be supported in the future. Creating one is as easy as filling in a Google spreadsheet or as detailed as JSON.

I developed a similar jQuery plugin. It’s less complex in terms of the presentation, but probably offers greater flexibility. See http://www.technotarek.com/timeliner/ and http://www.technotarek.com/timeliner/timeliner.html
